Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. In winter, reduce watering significantly as the plant enters dormancy.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this succulent prefers drier conditions.
Pruning is generally minimal. Remove dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain appearance and prevent disease.
If the plant becomes too large or leggy, you can prune it back to encourage bushier growth, and these cuttings can be used for propagation.
Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Gently separate the pups with a clean knife, ensuring they have some roots attached.
Allow the cut end to callus over for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Repotting is best done in spring or early summer.
